SELECTING

Raising heifers sounds very we'll
IN theory, but breeding cattle is a
separate art from dairying, and un-
less followed with great judgement
Is a losing business, as not every
helter raised becomes a good milch
cow. The best plan is to buy heif-
erS heavy with their first calves,
called "Springers," and in this there
much more oom for judgement
ana skill in making these selections
II 11ah most men are willing to admit.
Inc mistake usually made is in being
lllSled by a fancy for certain shapes
voIorS and fashionable points, to the
neglect Of others relating immedi-
"'eIy tothe usefulness Of the matured
VOW, The first point to consider is
s'l't the h~eiferis strong, with a deep

may add a little lamp-black, but I
don't see any use in it.
Now to apply it to the boots:
Wash them clean of mud and black
ing; when they are nearly dry, apply
the waterproof all over them-if
the weather is cold, work near the
stove. The best thing to use in ap-
plying this backing is ones hands
and considerable elbow greese to
rub it we'll into the leather.
Any one using this application to
a pair of boots and then having wet
feet had best throw the boots away
and buy a new pair, or else have the
seams attended to.

Seth Green gives the following
hints on carp culture: Carp prefer
a stagnant pond to running water;
ponds should be at least an eighth
OF an acre in size; it is advisable to
have second or connecting pond
in which to keep the young fry, as
the large fish will eat them; unless
precautions are taken to protect the
fry the increase will be very small;
build ponds with sloping edges, to
provide shallow water for the fry to
escape their cannibalistic elders but
make the ponds deep enough to pre-
vent freezing solid and thus save the
carp; carp will settle in the deep
water and burrow into the mud
during the cold weather.

TO MAKE WATER-PkOOF

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes to that paper as
follows: Tallow, beeswax and castor
oil are very good for leather, and

give you a receipt for the manutac-
ture of a waterproof backing, that

facturer of waterproof boots IN Llv-

WASHING MADE EASY.

The Ladies Society of Brayton-

tons for washing clothes according
to the method they were using. 1t
was at once published in these col
umns, and it lifted an almost intol-
cradle burden from hundred house.
holds. 1t is no figure of speech to
say we have received hundreds of
letters from tired women scattered
all over the land expressing their
gratitude to the Ladies' Society for
that communication. 1t is not pos
slble to estimate the good it has
done. BLESSED is he who first in
vented Sleep" says Sancho Panza;
how much nor blessed the ladies
who make endurable the working
hours of the tired wives and moth
7 all over the land? Life demands
sleep, tired natures sweet r~estorer,
but in this hurly-burly life of ours,
rest is something one seldom thinks
Of; especially do we forget that the
women need it.
But it is something more than
rest that is brought by these simple
directions for washing; it is cleanli-
ness as we'll, and that cleanliness,
which we are told, is next to godIi-
ness, must begin with clean homes
and clean clothes. ByfolIowing the
directions, which we reprint below,
in a few weeks time it will be seen
hat the clothes have been through
Il new bleaching process. Here is
the article to which we refer:
For one bar of soap use three
tablespoontuls of coal oil, such as
you use in the lamp. For a family
of five Or six, put enough water in
the boiler to boil the clothes, add
two teaspoonfuls of coal oil and Two
thirds OF a bar of soap, or its equiva-
lent of soft soap, let it come to a boil
wet your cleanest clothes in cold
water or warmed enough for COM
fort. If the wristbands are very
dirty a little soap may be rubbed on
them, put them in boiling water and
boil fifteen minutes. While they
are boiling wet the next boilerful,
and if very dirty add another spoon
tul of oil and more soap. The last
boiler will not need any more oil or
soap. 1t takes about as much soap
as the ordinary way, but it is all
put in the boiler. After boiling
~uds rinse as usual. Two things re-
member have plenty of soap in
boiling water, and have it boiling
when the clothes are putin. If you
fail the first time try, try again; you
will be sure to like it. We have
W ,shed this way a year-long
enough to test it-and our clothes
I look nice and white, and we say let
those rub who want to. Please try
and report"
Cut this out and if you have been
in doubt before, give it a trial and

Mr.. GERRIT l.. LANSING, in an able pa
per in the Argonavt on the long and short
haul clause of the interstate commerce
law, replies to the impression that prevails
to a considerable extent, that those at non
competitive points pay for the carriage of
freight from competitive points This is
a false idea, he declares, a misconceptlon
that is the fundamental root of much error.
For the low rate for long haul does not
increase the higher rate for shorter haul.
On the contrary, it has the reverse of that
effect, for the profit over the cost of car
riage on the long haul helps to pay the
fixed expenses, and so makes possible re-
auctions in short haul rates. In those cases
where less charge is allowed for a longer
than shorter haul, the less rate is not
made by the railroad, but by competition
and this truth in transportation he illus
trates and Celebrates at length. But the
mere statement of it is so forcible that it
would seem ii ought not to fail to convince
any unbiased mind of its soundness.
